in Blackburn we have new, smaller wheelie bins now and they are collected weekly, i havent a clue why though, if you recycle properly as Gail said ,you should have no problem, i never had a problem with fortnightly bin collections, we now use our old big wheelie bin for ALL our recycling, cans, tins, paper, cardboard and even yoghurt pots and tetra pak cartons now, it all goes into one big bin and that is collected fortnightly...not all areas in Blackburn have to recycle though, the houses down the Whitebirk estate havent been made to recycle, which i think is just stupid, i've been doing it for years and i'll carry on doing it....got a very nice compost bin on the go at the moment too
